PREFACE. 


In this catalogue of the collection of John G. Mills, Esq., 
of Albany, New York, we describe one of the finest collections of 
the coins of the United States that has ever been offered at public 
sale. Mr. Mills, born in Albany, July 19, 1865, and one of the 
younger collectors, has devoted a great part of his time during 
the past twenty years to the formation of this superb collection, 
and it is to be regretted that he has concluded to dispose of it, 
yet on the other hand, it will give other numismatists an oppor¬ 
tunity of enjoying the possession of the beautiful specimens which 
it contains. 

They have nearly all came from famous cabinets and as Mr. 
Mills has in nearly every case preserved the pedigree of previous 
ownership as it may be termed, we have stated them in many 
instances in our catalogue. It is important to do so, not only on 
account of the examples themselves, but to prevent the feeling 
arising in the minds of collectors that additional specimens are 
appearing when they are the same pieces that have been known 
in previous collections. 

The collection contains specimens of the highest rarity and 
in the finest states of preservation in every series represented, and 
to review them here would be but a repetition of the entire cata¬ 
logue. The greatest rarity and the chief piece of the collection, 
is the 1776 Continental Currency dollar in silver. The other 
principal pieces are the Sommers Island pieces, the Massachusetts 
silver which slightly exceeds in number any series heretofore 
offered, including the N. E. shilling; the Lord Baltimore coins in 
silver; 1792 Washington half dollar in silver, the rarity of which 
in its proper metal has not been heretofore appreciated; New 
York cents; rare Eagles and Quarter Eagles; 1794 silver dollar 
which is one of the finest known; 1796 half dollar; 1804 quarter 
dollar uncirculated; 1827 original proof; many rare and exquisite 
dimes and half dimes; cents of 1793, 1794, 1795, 1796, 1804, 1821, 
1823 perfect die; the original half cents of 1831, 1836, 1840 to 
1852.

PREFACE. 


At the end of the catalogue will be found a few Greek and 
Koman coins and a series of recent Foreign Silver coins. 

The coins are nearly all in the finest state of preservation 
and we have carefully graded them in our usual regular degrees 
of preservation; proof, uncirculated, extremely fine (showing only 
the faintest touch, just so as not to be uncirculated), very fine, 
fine, very good, good, fair, poor. When silver coins are described 
as uncirculated, they retain their mint lustre. 

We issue this catalogue at a uniform charge of 50c. for each 
copy and with priced list sent after the sale $1. We have also 
issued an edition illustrated with fourteen plates, representing 
the principal coins at $5; and as there is much variety in the 
Massachusetts silver, we have placed the entire collection on them. 

The plates contain the following, briefly summarized: 

Plate I, II, III. Fifty pieces of Massachusetts silver, the 
entire collection. Lord Baltimore coins; Chalmers, Standish 
Barry pieces; 1776 silver and pewter dollars; 1792 Washington 
half dollar in silver. 

Plate IV. The Colonial copper; Sommer Island pieces; Caro¬ 
lina Elephant; Rosa Americana Series; Virginia. 

Plate V. Early United States and Washington coins. 

Plate VI. Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut coins. 

Plate VII. New York, New Jersey and Kentucky coins. 

Plate VIII. Gold Eagles and Quarter Eagles. 

Plate IX. Silver Dollars, 1794, magnificent specimens of 
1795, 1797, 1801, 1802, 1836 Gobrecht in field, 1838. 

Plate X. Half Dollars and Quarter Dollars. Half Dollars 
1796 one of the finest known, 1797 and others. Quarters 1796, 
1804, 1805, 1806, 1807, 1815 all uncirculated, 1821, 1822, 1827, 
1828 proofs. 

Plate XI. Dimes and Half Dimes. Specimens of many of 
these in uncirculated and exquisite degrees of preservation. 40 
pieces represented on this plate. 

Plate XII, XIII, XIV. Cents and Half Cents, all in magnifi¬ 
cent preservation. 

The imprints of the plates 7x9 inches are filled with the 
coins, as many as possible being placed upon them. They repre¬ 
sent 272 coins with their obverses and reverses, except one, which 
therefore equal 543 representations of coins, the largest number 
that has ever before been placed on a plate catalogue in this 
country.

We have abandoned the autotype process, as it was unsatis¬ 
factory and too uncertain, and employed that which we had in 
view in 1897 for the Brown collection, when the Treasury officials 
extended the law on counterfeiting to include the publication of 
Numismatic books and stopped our issuance of the plates for that 
collection; but last year the Senior member of the firm, through 
the aid of the Senator from Pennsylvania, Hon. Boies Penrose, 
and the member of Congress from our district, the Hon. H. H. 
Bingham, “The Father of the House,” secured the passage through 
Congress of an amendment to this law, exempting Numismatic 
books and circulars of legitimate dealers, and we are now again 
able to give the distant collector the opportunity of seeing with 
his own eyes, exact photographic images of the coins, and a per¬ 
petual visual record of the collection. By this process we have 
secured finer work with more absolutely perfect detail, than has 
heretofore been the result from any of the autotype processes. 
Collectors may use magnifying glasses, in fact we would advise 
the use of a large reading glass in looking at the plates and which 
could not be used on the autotype or half tone methods of print¬ 
ing. To obtain the white back-ground which has heretofore been 
used, it was necessary to paint out on the negative, the original 
surface surrounding the coins and the perfection of the outline 
of every coin depended on the carefulness and steadiness of the 
hand that did the brush work. We have also abandoned this 
method of working and the coins are shown with their own edges. 

We guarantee all the coins and medals genuine. Commis¬ 
sions for this sale will be faithfully executed by us for the usual 
10 per cent, of the amount purchased.

Only silver impression from these dies and but one other 
in silver from the die in which currency is spelled with 
two r’s and signature of engraver e. g. fecit. Very good 
and appears to have been in actual circulation. Though 
no records have been preserved of the authorization of 
this coinage yet the issuance of fractional paper notes 
bearing, on either side, the design of this coin would 


FIRST COINS OF THE UNITED STATES. 15 

seem to show that the coinage was authorized and that 
the fractions of the unit were issued in paper. And the 
designs were used on the cents of 1787. The records of 
Congress and of the Government are so extremely 
meagre and omit mention of so much business that came 
before them that the omission of a record does not prove 
that such an issue was not authorized or intended.

All splendid sharp proofs and the six pieces to be sold as

Indians are excessively rare. This is the set from the 
Bushnell Collection Sale, 1882, where we bought it for 
$150, which we considered a great bargain and placed it 
in a sale eight months later, March, 1883, when it fetched 
$300. In the McCoy sale, 1864, a similar set sold for 
$900, was purchased by Mr. Lightbody and sold in the 
sale of his collection March, 1865, for $800. See our

164 Libertas Americana, libertas Americana. Head of Lib¬ 

erty 1. with cap on pole. In exg. 4 juil 1776. Rey. non 
sine diis animosus infans. Infant Hercules in bis shield- 
shaped cradle, strangling a serpent in each hand; 
Minerva standing over him repelling the attack of the 
British Lion, and protecting him with her shield, sur¬ 
charged with the lilies of France, and against which the 
lion has placed his fore-paws; in exg. \l Oct \ ]\\ By 
Dupre. Silver. Extremely fine. Very rare. 

This medal was designed by Benjamin Franklin to com¬ 
memorate on the obverse the Declaration of Independ¬ 
ence, and on the reverse the surrender of Burgoyne at 
Saratoga, and Cornwallis at Yorktown, Hercules person¬ 
ifying the United States, the serpents the two armies, 
the dates in exg. being those of the surrenders, Minerva, 
France, and the Lion, Britain. A very beautiful medal. 
The rev. design of Hercules the same as, and probably 
from a coin of Crotona of the 4th century B. C. It is, 
in our opinion, from the obv. of this medal that the 
design of the head of the cents of 1793 to 6 were taken.
